Comment:

 This is a slightly different issue than the above, but it's closely enough
 related that I think it makes sense to re-open the extant case.

 I'm currently using an unlocked XO running Build 759, Sugar 0.82 and
 Firmware Q2E15.  I'm having trouble installing MIT certificates.  The last
 time I tried, it hung indefinitely (over half an hour).  This time I'm
 documenting the process as I go along in order to give more detail:
 From http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates choose Get MIT CA
 (Certificate Authority).
 A rainbow-daemon window pops up.  I view the certificate (it's correct).
 Note that the graphics of the tabs are overlapping badly, but that's
 something I can live with.  I hit the X on the upper right corner to close
 the front window, check all three boxes to trust sites, users and
 developers, then click OK.  There's a pause (at 9:31:25).  A minute later
 I hit OK again.  The OK blinks but nothing else happens.  OK, let's try
 hitting enter since the choice is highlighted...   nothing at all, not
 even a shift in the text color.  Is it possible I managed to get this
 installed previously?  We're not in Kansas anymore, and I don't know how
 to check for installed certificates on this incarnation of Firefox.  OK,
 let's proceed to the Personal Certificate, assuming that the prerequisite
 CA is already installed.  Follow the link, enter appropriate information
 (Kerberos name, password, and MIT ID).  Click submit.  It goes to the
 Generate a Private Key page.  Leave Key Size and Certificate Lifetime at
 defaults, click on Next.  It's a few seconds before 9:42.  A rainbow-
 daemon window pops up with the standard alert: "Key Generation in
 progress... This may take a few minutes... <blink>Please wait...</blink>
 And that's as far as it gets.  9:52 - that's enough hang time, so to
 speak.  Terminating.
